[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] ienichols:
Yes: My GT-I9305 is enhanced using the charging coil, etc., out of a Palm Pixi Touchstone back cover with a Palm Touchstone puck. I used copper tape and resoldered the contact points on the wireless charging coil so that they align with the contacts in the phone. The coil is stuck inside the unmodified original back cover using the white sticky cover from inside the Pixi, and some white duct tape to cover the copper tape extensions out to the contacts. I have reused the metal disks with the sticky coil cover to locate the back on the charging puck.

It charges at about 230 mA through my TPU back cover, slower than normal, but perfectly adequate.

The Touchstone puck is fussy about cables and USB PSUs.

Well, Thank you very much :)

Your post was very helpful and informative, especially the bit about the 'fussy puck'.

I will try that setup again but with different USB cables and chargers perhaps.

Im guessing there isnt any led confirming that the puck is on ?

Thanks again (thanks button pressed too) :)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] studentu05:
Hi guys,

I've used the palm wireless charger with one of those stickers that you attach to the phone on top of battery. It was working perfect but you have to put the phone with this sticker exactly on the middle of the charger otherwise won't work. If you have a case on the phone won't work either. It takes to much time until it charges the battery (I've had a 4500ma ;)). You can check if the wireless pad works with a multimeter. Put the sticker on it and check if it gets any electricity. :thumbup:
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] wolek76:
Yes, now I know I need a sticker. Also as I realised I needed the sticker I thougjt I might put magnets as well too.

Then I tried this all and it was wouldn't work with my flip cover so I've attached the palm sticker to the bak of my flip-over case and put the original backing away.

Now its all brilliant :). I have my phone in my case and charging wirelessly with no issues.

Those usb sockets arent really made to last, arent they :)

Thanks everyone who helped.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] mputtr:
if you want a "pre-manufactured" wireless charging solution, you can also go on ebay and buy the Qi wireless receiver pad. it fits underneath the battery door as well and NFC still works. The only thing I don't like about it is that it causes a small "dome" on the battery cover so if you use a case, the more "sturdy" ones like the otterbox or the ballistic or anything that will hold its shape to overcome the slight bump.

apart from that if you're handy w/ modding and such, the palm touchstone mod is also perfect since it's insanely cheaper than anything that is offered out there.

you will need to flash a four package firmware

what it means is pda phone modem csc all must be filled with relevant file

flash the firmware

let it boot

it will go into recovery and will do some processing

and in no time you would be at your homescreen

boot into recovery (turn phone off then hold down middle button and power) then clear cache and data... reboot and see if that works.

My internet data turns off by itself when I lock it screens. So whenever I lock my screen, I wont be able to receive any messages from any apps eg. Whatsapp, Messenger. As soon as I unlock my phone, all these messages and notifications starts popping up. I have been running on Cynogen Mod 10 for a few months and it hasnt been an issue. I have formatted my Sd Card and installed the newest version of CWM but the problem is still there.

Is it a hardware or software issue? What should I do?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kulapips:
Hi Guys, as most people who post for the 1st time, I'm posting with a question :)

Also, I was planning on posting this on the Android Development forum (with the thread dedicated to CM10) but it requires at least 10 posts :p

Anywho, onto the thread title;

I have an Xperia S (LT26i) which i just recently unlocked,rooted and installed CM10 into, and I have been using it happily for a full week mostly stable (Any.Do and Instagram has graphical glitches but no biggie for me.), the only concern I have is that Mobile Data doesnt seem to work, even if users have reported it to be working.

I am thinking this *might* have something to do with the kernel (i havent touched that yet), did a little research and it seems to be a lot more complicated that just flashing a rom.

What do you guys think? Is it just a quirk with the current version of CM10, or do I have to use another kernel (which i have no idea how to do, or where to start.)

Thanks in advance :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Aniket:
I had the same problem and reflashing the Rom and wiping data, cache and dalvik cache again seemed to solve it. Maybe you can try that.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kulapips:
I read the instructions carefully and I was 100% sure that I did that, as a matter of fact I have tried reflashing at least 2 times earlier today wiping everything before and after flashing.. but still no go :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Aniket:
What about flashing a newer build? Fxp 203 is available :).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ARNOB:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kulapips:
Sorry for being a total n00b, but I was actually kind of iffy on the idea of moving to fxp 20x, i was under the impression that it was just a newer version of JB that might have more bugs than fixes compared to fpx 15x. So in simple terms its actually all around better?

* also, one more question. when upgrading from fxp 152 -> fxp 203, do i need to wipe everything and then reflash? or is there a more straightforward way of upgrading?

Still got a problem with the on/off tool app. It can't turn on and off the data function. Everething else works fine :)

[HTC Desire S] shaitan667:
Hi all. Was sorting through some stuff in my room the other day and found a Desire S :confused:

Don't know/remember where it came from and none of my friends remember giving me one.

Problem is, it seems to be bricked. No recovery, and using fastboot, I can't seem to flash a recovery img to it - just sits there doing nothing. Have left it for an hour and nothing happened.

Can obviously still get to the bootloader and fastboot, but can't do much from there. Flashing a new system.img just hangs as well.

Also got the RUU_Saga_Telstra_WWE_1.36.841.3_Radio_20.28d.30.0805U_3805.04.02.01_M_release_184558_signed.exe file and tried that, but that has been sitting there for half an hour saying rebooting to bootloader.

Have checked the SD card - it has a fat32 and ext3(maybe ext2 - can't remember) partition which sounds right.

Details on the bootloader as follows -

Revolutionary

SAGA OVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-6.98.1002

RADIO-3805.04.02.01M

eMMC-boot

Any ideas as to what may be wrong with it and how to get it working?

EDIT - I have read through alot of posts, however, I don't know the history of this phone, what it was running, what recovery etc.
[HTC Desire S] ContactFront:
hmmm revolutionary s-off so it should already have some sort of custom recovery installed

you can't run RUU directly over 6.98 hboot.

put recovery zip file in sd card and try install via hboot?
[HTC Desire S] shaitan667:
Should a recovery zip just have the img file plus an md5 file inside it? (never actually looked before now) And how does one install it from hboot? If it is called recovery.zip will it just be picked up and installed automagically? I really don't know much when it comes to actual Android HTC phones. Have mucked around lots with the Touch Pro 2 and HD2 (installing android and WP7), but never one that runs Android by default.
[HTC Desire S] ContactFront:
yes it's just img plus md5 plus version...but you have a "bricked" device anyway why not just give it a try...wouldn't really hurt...that's just my dumb thought :)

rename the file PG88IMG.zip, put in sd card root directory, boot into bootloader and normally it would be picked up automatically and you'll have option to install it.
[HTC Desire S] shaitan667:
Tried this just now - using 4EXT_Recovery_v2.2.7_RC5

Says parsing, then goes back to main bootloader screen. Selecting recovery just goes back to the main bootloader screen :(
[HTC Desire S] shaitan667:
Just trying this now -

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1387484

Has been sitting there about 5 minutes (used fastboot, not android flasher). Will go for a smoke and see what it's doing when I get back. It either is really effing slow, or properly bricked. Fastboot on my Xoom and Atrix were much quicker if it's the former.
[HTC Desire S] ContactFront:
sorry my bad. for this method to work the zip file probably needs to have an android-info.txt inside, which 4ext doesn't.

sorry:(
[HTC Desire S] shaitan667:
Still no luck - sat there for 10 minutes and did nothing. I think it may be well and truly bricked :(
[HTC Desire S] shaitan667:
Ok, so found part of the issue - P88IMG.zip is the bootloader/hboot/whatever the hell it's called, not recovery. Found a stock p88img, attempting to install now in the hope I can run the RUU afterwards. Hopefully it won't sit there for an hour doing not much

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Chocketbear:
I've had my S3 about 5 months, I bought it retail from ebay from a seller that didn't unlock it, it is still tied to AT&T. I use Straight Talk as my service as at&t or T-moblie will work with out unlocking them. I want to unlock my phone now and have a question.

Beings that the micro sim in my phone is straight talk and is working, how do I unlock my phone? from what I've read about unlocking, you need to have a NON-WORKING sim to be able to unlock it. Or is there a way to unlock it with out a sim in it?

thanks for your time.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Evewon:
You actually need a Sim that is not att, to unlock. You will need the unlock code from att or you can buy them on the internet. I was able to get my unlock code for my S2 from att. You have to have the phone on their service for at least 6 months, you call them say you are going out of the county for a few weeks, and bam!, they give you the unlock code.

Once you have the code, you need to put in an activated sim from another provider other than att, when you turn the phone on you'll be asked to enter unlock code. Enter the code, hit enter, bam unlocked.

This won't work with a sim that is not active.

So if you have a straight talk sim in, and have for six months, and its working, and its a i747, then I think you have a unlocked phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhomiec:
just to clarify, you do NOT have to have AT&T for any given amount of time before you receive an unlock code.

i was an AT&T customer for all of 10 days and got my unlock code for my Galaxy S3. it is VERY dependent on the agent you speak to for asking for an unlock code.

anyways, since you are using Straight Talk, you should have an unlocked phone. best way to test is try to put a different SIM card in it and see what happens.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] skrambled:
I was told my device was "ineligible" to be unlocked. AT&T sucks.

If you don't want to waste time talking to a rep that may or may not help you, use this method, it's easy and free: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2014982 (it's for the Note II but it works on the AT&T S3). You don't need a non-working sim for this method to work, but you won't know if it worked until you put in a non-working sim.

Also, you'll likely only get Edge network on T-Mobile unless you happen to be one of the lucky few in an areas where you can get 3G or H+.

But as posted in other threads, if you're going to call AT&T, call ﻿their International Support line: 1-800-335-4685 (found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1962453&page=16 )

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] $hady:
If you didn't face this problem in the beginning then there's surely something wrong now. Take a back up of all your data, go back to a stock rom and reinstall cm10. It should most probably work for you.

Hi,

first of all tnx to the penguins for the great CM10 based PA ROM. I'm running it since Build 02 and lovin it.

I noticed that the external SD is mounted under /storage/sdcard1 next to the internal /storage/sdcard0 or /sdcard

This leads to one strage thing: Under /sdcard/_ExternalSD I only see the empty folders .../DCIM/Camera while the Camera pictures get (correctly) filed under /sdcard/DCIM

I can only access the external SD with root explorer therefore and it's contents cannot be used by many apps and functions (like Airdroid)

Am I doing anything wrong? Is there an easy way to fix it?
